The New York Jets have added Tim Tebow to their rushing offense, but there’s an increasing possibility their backfield will be minus of a future Hall of Famer. Five-time Pro Bowl running back LaDainian Tomlinson told SI.com’s Jim Trotter that he is “95 percent” retired.

Tomlinson, a free agent, has received little interest in the open market. At 32 and after 11 seasons, there might not be any options to continue his career. With his 13,684 career rushing yards and 18,456 yards from scrimmage, both first among active players, Tomlinson is a shoo-in for Canton if he doesn’t play another down.

The Jets have given him a good home the past two seasons after his tough 2010 release from the San Diego Chargers, who drafted him fifth overall in 2001.

Although Tomlinson rushed for 914 yards and six touchdowns in his first season in New York, wear and tear led to a more limited role behind Shonn Greene in his second season. The result was one start, 280 yards and one TD in 2011.

The shelf life of NFL backs, even those with the accomplishments of Tomlinson, seems shorter than ever. Other veterans over age 30, such as Thomas Jones, are in similar situations.

If Tomlinson and Jones don’t play in next season, and with Ricky Williams also retiring, it would leave 28-year-old St. Louis Rams feature back Steven Jackson as the league’s active leading rusher, with 9,093 yards.
